From the article in qotes
"You may have seen these before, but as a refresher, we will call these the "Parcells Rules." In order to be eligible for selection by Bill Parcells, a college quarterback must:

1. ...be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback.

2. ...be a three-year starter, because you want to make sure his success wasn't a fluke and to know that he has been "the guy" for a significant period of time.

Of those six quarterbacks, five of them pass the Parcells Rules test, and the only one that doesn't is Christian Ponder who fell one win short (he started in 22 wins in his FSU career) of meeting the 23 win mark, a mark he'd have likely hit if he hadn't been injured in his first year as a starter.

Fact that becomes even more relevant when you consider that the quarterbacks selected in the first and second round of each of these drafts that didn't make the 2012 postseason all failed the Parcells Rules test:

The only three who qualify out of the 2013 Draft class
Landry Jones,
Matt Barkley,
Geno Smith," end of quote from Article

The only exception is EJ Manuel who was not a three year starter but had the wins and was a senior. these Guys are also the Most Accurate Geno 66% ave Jones and Barkley 63% ave
Scouts Inc.. and Todd Mcshay and Gil Brandt have these guys in their top 4..

You're making people who weren't even thinking about Landry Jones hate him as a prospect.

teams love him and will be drafted 1/2 round and will win a starting Job

No the media already made people hate him by picking up on the perfectionistic whining of OU fans because he didnt win a national championship. To say he sucks and is a 4th round prospect is ridiculous and with out merit or with out any reason or common sense.. There is a lot out there that agrees with me.. Jones is a quit laid back leader and a good Christian and good person who is already married. He is not flashy an easy target for media and others to pick on.. So he is like a little brother that I feel like I need to defend..

teams love him and will be drafted 1 or 2 round and will win a starting job.. It is interesting how if you look at all the different methods the same 5 names keep showing up.. I think The top 5 are all really different and will all do well.

ESPN's Jon Gruden believes QB Landy Jones got "bored" and "complacent" his final two years at Oklahoma.
"Jones was around so long and had seen so much as a college player that I think he got complacent," Gruden writes. "I see a player who got bored. ... The Sooners often went with four-wideout formations, and I thought it stymied their QB. They lost balance and their play-action passing game. That put a lot on Jones, and it probably created a situation where he had to throw the ball too often." Jones threw for 4,718 yards and 38 touchdowns as a sophomore, but fell short of both totals his junior and senior seasons. Immobile and inconsistent, Jones will be lucky to come off the board on day two

That's what ole' Gruden thinks about your boy.

Jones didnt get board or complacent.. He got a way worse defense his Junior year and Senior year that left him with less attempts because they were on the field longer.. then he had Broyals get hurt and three wr get suspended so he started over with a whole new crew his senior year.. You dont criticize a player who goes from 4700 yards to 4400 to 4200 yards and 30 Td's a season at that level who freakin Cares only the top 10 NFL QB's are at that level.. the much worse defense and injury and stuff can account for that drop.. The Immobile and inconsistent jones will be lucky to come off the board on day 2 was not what Gruden Said .. the exert above was taken out of context read the whole article. what he talking about Jones trying to do to much and take too much on his shoulders and pass up easy underneath stuff.. He was to overconfident in his arm and should have been patient and taken easy underneath stuff.. he said that Jones would not give up on plays when he needed to which caused some of the mistakes..

I'm sorry, but on draft day, you will be left with mud on your face and nobody to turn to. Your thinking will be realized to be fallacious and hopefully, you'll learn something about how QB's are picked by NFL scouts and GM's because your argument just won't hold up.

This is one of the worst crops of QB's I've seen in my 55 years of being a draftnik and Jones is no better than 5th or 6th on a terribly bad list.
The only reason he will be drafted at all is because he has a very decent arm, the rest of his game just isn't pro quality, if he's lucky, he'll get to sit a year or 2 and improve the other aspects of being a pro football QB, and just maybe down the road, he might have some success, but I won't be holding my breath waiting for it to happen because you cannot teach mental toughness, a prime requirement of a NFL QB.

So how does this "test" deal with someone like E.J. Manuel? He doesn't pass because wasn't a "starter" for 3 years but started and won big games over his 4 year, time he spent backing up a QB who "passed" that test.

__________________Kaepernick is this years pat white. Thin, gimmick offense and doesn't possess an nfl arm. The ncaa constantly regurgitates clones of past players and amazingly enough, tricks some people into thinking they're better than their cloned half. Kaepernick was a complete waste of a senior bowl qb spot. A better qb will come from the east/west shrine or whatever they're calling it now...count on it

As much as I have my doubts, something tells me Tyler Bray could shock us all. Mechanics and arm strength are there. If he can work on his footwork and puts to rest his character concerns, he's a starter in the NFL.

I remember hearing that teams were impressed in interviews and with his knowledge and seemed comfortable he can adapt to a playbook quicker than expected.

It included Landry Jones but was a general thread having to do with different methods of rating QB's, and how the top 5 show up on a lot of different methods... So freakin Cool it... I gave Manuel his props.

Bray has a lot of talent only concern is accuracy 58.5 with two top wr's Freeman had a 58% accuracy in college and 58% after 4 years in the pros..

So how does this "test" deal with someone like E.J. Manuel? He doesn't pass because wasn't a "starter" for 3 years but started and won big games over his 4 year, time he spent backing up a QB who "passed" that test.

Nassib missed it by a game and Manuel would be an exception because he is a senior will graduate and won more than 23 games but only started two years.. All the other methods have Manuel Ranked... I wouldnt worry about it... Geno Manuel Jones Barkley Nassib... are the top 5 on most lists.. and on Lewin Career index... Manuel is different and best and only fit read option and will go in the first.. probably top 10

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Landry Jones emerge as the best QB of this entire class.

Yeah, it could happen... The fact is I doubt there is a difference maker as a QB in this class. I would put the over/under on pro-bowls in this class at about 6.5. And that includes making the pro-bowl as the 6th guy when the top 3 decline invites or claim injury.

Last year we had Luck, Griffin, and Wilson. One of the all time rookie classes. I could see each of them in Canton some day, and I would have said that about both RGIII and Luck prior to the draft. I also said to many of my friends, that if Russell Wilson was 4 inches taller he would be in the mix for the top 5. In no way did I think he would accomplish what he did in his rookie year, but he could be the best of the bunch.

I seriously can't believe anyone here thinks a bust in Canton is waiting for any of the QB prospects in this draft.

Geno has the arm talent and athleticism, but I don't see the leadership that RGIII, Luck, and Wilson displayed in college. He seems like the guy who is great when things are going his teams way, but shrinks when the adversity comes. EJ Manuel intrigues me with upside and intangibles. Nassib reminds me of Mark Bulger on the high side, and Kellen Clemens on the low side.

I mean, why do you think the Alex Smiths, Kevin Kolbs, and Matt Flynns have been such hot commodities this offseason. It's because the best college QB is named Teddy Bridgewater and he isn't in this draft.

Yeah, a draft where the top QB went #16 and was the only one that was selected in round 1, is a good sign that these QB's have Real talent, your thought process is completely off the wall.

Nassib missed it by a game and Manuel would be an exception because he is a senior will graduate and won more than 23 games but only started two years.. All the other methods have Manuel Ranked... I wouldnt worry about it... Geno Manuel Jones Barkley Nassib... are the top 5 on most lists.. and on Lewin Career index...

Manuel went 26-5 at FSU. Started for 2 years but started games in all 4.
